2020 Finish-A-Long: 2nd Quarter Finish #2 ~ Frolic

Can I pinch myself now?  I finished another Bonnie Hunter Mystery Quilt!  I started this one in November 2019 and ~ again ~ I didn't have to buy any fabric, not even the backing.  

This quilt is a big bigger ~ it ended up about 85" x 85" ~ and now I finally have a quilt for my bed!  My hubby loves it and so do I.

This is where it was before all this Covid business:

All blocks are finished, but not trimmed:

This is the back before the quilt was basted:

Quilting in progress:

and this is the finish.  I Like It!  

Someone in my quilt group asked me how many pieces were in this quilt ~ so I went back to the pattern and counted:  3,628.  Whew!

So two finishes so far this quarter ~ I'm guessing that will be it, but I can live with that!

2020 Finish-A-Long: 2nd Quarter List

Second Quarter already ~ hoping to finish at least 2 of these while we're stuck here in the house.  :(

1 - Patchwork Barn Block of the Month by Edyta Sitar. I have most of the quilt put together and I'm just starting on the applique for the side panels. 

2 - Good Fortune Mystery Quilt.  This is the first Bonnie Hunter mystery quilt I've ever done ~ and I LOVED putting it together!  Top is finished and it's basted, so all it's ready for some quilting!

3 - Twins' Onesies quilt.  I've been wanting to do a t-shirt quilt and decided it would be fun to make one out of my twin granddaughters' onesies.  Only two blocks finished so far, so I'm hoping to make some progress on this!

4 - Frolic Mystery Quilt.  The latest mystery by Bonnie Hunter.  I have the top finished and backing is almost ready.  Hoping I can finish it this quarter.

I posted this list on Instagram before the deadline, but I wanted to add it here as well.  

2020 Finish-A-Long: 1st Quarter List

New year ~ new motivation!  I'm really hoping to finish more than 4 quilts this year.  It should be a bit quieter ~ we won't be traveling as much or moving across country, so I'll have more time to quilt.  It's nice to finally be settled in our new home!

I have two projects left over from last quarter:  

1 - Patchwork Barn Block of the Month by Edyta Sitar. I have most of the quilt put together and I'm just starting on the applique for the side panels. 

2 - Good Fortune Mystery Quilt.  This is the first Bonnie Hunter mystery quilt I've ever done ~ and I LOVED putting it together!  Top is finished and it's basted, so all it's ready for some quilting!

New this quarter:

3 - Flowerclub Table Topper ~ pattern by Anja Townrow.  I started this paper-pieced quilt in a class with our local quilt group.  I've finished two blocks so far, so I'm sure I can finish this one!

4 - Pinwheel Path.  This is for a guild challenge.  To participate, we were given an old quilt magazine (mine was Quiltmaker Jan/Feb 2001) and a fat quarter to use to create one of the projects in the magazine.  This is the quilt I chose for inspiration to make my project.  The safety pin fabric is the fat quarter I need to use.  Wish me luck!

5 - Twins' Onesies quilt.  I've been wanting to do a t-shirt quilt and decided it would be fun to make one out of my twin granddaughters' onesies.  Only two blocks finished so far, so I'm hoping to make some progress on this!

6 - Frolic Mystery Quilt.  The latest pattern by Bonnie Hunter.  I'm a little behind on this one (just finished clue #6 out of 9).  But I just saw the reveal and can't wait to catch up!

It's a long list for me, but I need to get back into the quilting groove and I'm hoping this will be my motivator.  :)

Happy New Year!!
